This edited book, written by a collection of scholars with an
interest in Northern Ireland, tracks its uneasy experience with
devolution following the optimistic political period associated
with the 1998 Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement. The volume brings
together researchers from the Economic and Social Research
Council's (ESRC) 'Devolution and Constitutional Change' Programme
and other experts to record four key perspectives on Northern
Ireland. First, it considers the inextricable link between
devolution and constitutional developments. Second, it examines how
the main political parties responded to devolution and the major
challenges faced by society in moving beyond conflict (such as
political symbolism, the role of women, equality and human rights
issues). Third, it attempts to assess some of the workings of
devolved government in its short-lived form or those seeded in
devolution and carried on by direct rule ministers. Finally,
Northern Irelands devolved government and associated institutions
are located within the wider relationships with Westminster, the
Republic of Ireland and Europe. This edited volume will be of
interest to students of Irish politics and public policy, but more
generally, from a comparative perspective, those with an interest
in devolution and constitutional change. It may even assist
politicians in Northern Ireland to reflect on the real potential to
restore its devolved institutions and draw back from the brink of
permanently copper-fastening 'direct rule' from Westminster. -- .
